Treasure Rating

It is said by the Taoist sages who developed Chinese tonic herbalism that a human being is composed of three “Treasures.” The “Three Treasures” are called Jing, Qi and Shen.

Jing – the wax and wick of a candle – is the first Treasure and is translated as “Essence.” Jing is the primal energy of life and is closely associated with our genetic potential, and is associated with the aging process.

Qi – the flame – is the second Treasure, and in the Three Treasures system includes both Energy and blood. This is the aspect of our life that involves action and thought.

Shen – the light being given off by a candle – is the third Treasure. Shen is our Spirit. This is ultimately the most important of the Three Treasures because it is the basis of our higher nature as human beings.

Known to the locals as “Southern Ginseng,” Gynostemma contains at least 100 saponins that are extremely close to those found in Ginseng. The saponins are the active ingredients of Ginseng. Gynostemma is even richer in these saponins than Ginseng.

Gynostemma used in Spring Dragon Longevity Tea is grown in a remote pristine mountain in Southern China. 100% mountain spring water and natural precipitation. No pesticides, fertilizers, or chemicals of any kind ever used during the cultivation.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum leaf is a quintessential adaptogenic herb. Gynostemma leaf is known in Asia as the “Miracle Leaf” and shares a remarkably similar chemical profile with Ginseng. The delicate bright green leaf of this vine-like tropical plant is regarded as one of Asia’s premier healthy-aging herbs. Gynostemma is an adaptogen and antioxidant.

It supports the adaptive response of a human being, and helps us handle stress more efficiently. It supports the healthy activity of the immune system. It is traditionally used to help support and maintain normal healthy respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive and liver functions. The primary active constituents of Gynostemma leaf are known as gypenosides. Cumulative studies on Gynostemma since 1976 show that Gynostemma leaf extract contains over 150 naturally occurring gypenosides. These all contribute to Gynostemma’s profound adaptogenic capacity.

This highly concentrated powdered extract is made from the purest, highest grade Gynostemma leaf, grown near the top of Great Immortal Peak, a remote pristine mountain in Southern China, without the use of any chemicals or modern equipment. It is grown totally on mountain spring water and natural precipitation. Most of the Gynostemma sold in the United States is grown at low altitude as an adjunctive farm product, usually around corn fields. The water in these farms is not nearly as pure as the fresh mountain spring water that feeds the Great Immortal Peak Gynostemma plot. Also, the common low lying fields are fumigated and unnaturally fertilized. Dragon Herbs’ Gynostemma is grown in a completely clean, naturally fertile environment.* Most manufacturers leave the stems in the Gynostemma before extracting, resulting in a less potent extract. Dragon Herbs uses hand selected leaves only. Gynostemma leaf extract is one of the great dietary supplements in the world.

Take 3 capsules, 2 times per day or as directed by a healthcare professional.
